General Notes: Husband - Harry Kier Humes


He was born in the state of Iowa, during the time that his father was out in that state on business in connection with the oil wells there. His father shortly afterwards returned to Tarentum, Pennsylvania, so that his childhood associations are all with the latter place. It was in Tarentum that his childhood was spent and there that he received his education in the local schools. At the age of twenty years, after completing his studies, he began in the same business in which his father had made so great a success, and began drilling oil wells. This was in the year 1876, and he continued in this occupation until 1904. He then turned his attention to the drilling of wells for water for a period of five years, and then, in 1909, built himself a garage and established himself in the automobile business. This new enterprise proved a success from the start, and continued developing, until in 1913, it had grown so large that he had to build an addition to his original establishment.
He was a school director in Tarentum for some years.
